Electro Hardware 1451M06F16-832 Hex Standoff 8-32

Product Description

The ELECTRO HARDWARE 1451M06F16-832 is an aluminum male-female hex circuit board standoff designed to create precise spacing between printed circuit boards and enclosure panels or between stacked boards. Threaded 8-32 on both ends, it accepts a machine screw on the male end and receives a mating standoff or fastener on the female end. The hex body measures 0.25 inches across flats, making it easy to drive with a standard nut driver or wrench. Overall length is 1.375 inches with a 1-inch hex body. The anodized finish provides corrosion resistance and a clean appearance in electronic assemblies. This standoff is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of five units.

This standoff is used in electronic and electrical panel assemblies wherever reliable board-to-board or board-to-chassis separation is required. Typical applications include control boards in HVAC equipment, industrial enclosures, power supply assemblies, and custom electronics. The 8-32 thread size is one of the most common in North American electronics manufacturing, making this standoff a frequent go-to for service techs, panel builders, and electronics assemblers working on existing or new equipment.

Key Features

• Male-female thread configuration allows stacking or direct panel mounting with a single fastener pass-through
• 8-32 thread size matches the most widely used fastener standard in North American electronics assemblies
• Hex body shape across 0.25 inches of flats enables positive wrench engagement without slipping
• Anodized aluminum finish resists corrosion and provides electrical isolation between the standoff body and board traces
• 1-inch hex body length with 3/8-inch thread length on the female end and 7/16-inch thread depth
• Meets QQ-A-225A Comp 2 aluminum material standard

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation standoff for any circuit board assembly using 8-32 threaded fasteners requiring 1.375 inches of total standoff height.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with a standard nut driver sized for a 0.25-inch hex body. Ensure the mating board or panel holes are properly aligned and deburred before threading to avoid cross-threading the aluminum body. Apply only finger-tight torque initially when stacking multiple boards before final snugging with a tool. Follow applicable assembly standards and power down all equipment completely before servicing or replacing standoffs on live control boards.
